With the recent updates to the property, this is one of the neatest places to stay and hold an event in Athens. The staff was very accommodating and professional and helped us have the most wonderful wedding weekend! Thank you!

The room was great. Decorated in a fun retro style. Very comfortable mattress. The staff was very friendly and professional. The breakfast options are very limited in the cafe, would be nice if they served a complementary breakfast like many similar hotel. The location is great. Walking distance to downtown and campus

Hotel was great and the staff within the hotel and the restaurant were amazing. Great people. The staff at the Foundry were great in recommending things to do around the city. The bartenders Pat and Deb were awesome with ideas and things to do or to make sure to see while staying in Athens.

There is often entertainment in the adjoining...

My husband and I spent one night here to go to a concert at the Georgia Theatre. The location was right in the middle of downtown Athens, and all the staff we encountered were awesome! However, there were a few things that I had issues with. The room itself was starting to show a little wear. As we got into...

My room had a retro feel with 1950s inspired furnishing, headboard, wall art, and overall theme - even my room card was designed to look like an old college...

The only room we could find in Athens in order to stay after the GA/GA Tech game. It's definitely convenient to campus and downtown but you can tell it was an old apartment building! Still could use some sprucing up! Love the themes throughout the hotel!

My husband and I stay here every Thanksgiving to meet up with family in Bogart. Graduate Athens is pet friendly which is a huge plus for us as we always travel with our Dooley! We enjoy the Normaltown Flyers on Thanksgiving Eve and that has become an annual tradition! Thanks again!
